Concerts you plan to attend this year

[Phil Goyette]

Saw John Anderson and the Band Geeks back in the spring.....one of the best concerts I have ever seen. 

Saw Night Ranger the other night. Blades can still bring it at 71. All the original bandmates. Great show.

Seeing McCartney for the fifth time in November.

Wasn’t the best show I’ve seen them play but nice to see a sold out crowd downtown. 

I was there with my family.  The kids spent way too much on my wife’s birthday and got tickets for the 4 of us.  Surprised “us” this morning.  I knew, but had been sworn to secrecy.  The only reason they told me, was because my job was to keep the calendar clear.  They bought what they could afford.  The tix were in the tippy top row, 300 level.

We got there around halfway through Dashboard Confessionals set.  Up to the last row in the dark, made our way to our seats, sat down, and I noticed my wife was on the verge of hyperventilating.  She was near terrified. She’d never been in the arena cheap seats, and I didn’t expect this. A couple of songs in, I went back down to floor level to find account services to see if I could pay for an upgrade. Nope. Not a single ticket available for us to buy in the lower level.  Yikes.

I offered to take everyone out on the town.  I suggested we listen for a bit at a hallway hightop table.  She stuck it out through the opener, and when the lights came on between bands she settled down a bit.  She never fully got comfortable, but did relax enough to do some butt dancing when the Dolls came on.  She did say she was ready to go before they ended.  I assume it was a song or two before encore, assuming they did an encore.

She got a t shirt.  That made her happy.

Lesson to self, no cheap seats for Momma.

I thought they were great, and so was Dashboard.
